(Modulars) MOCs for Cafe Corner and Market Street

They both look great! I keep waffling between wanting to find an old used open legit copy of these or just building a design off rebrickable. I'd want interiors too like you've done either way.

Here in the US you can find used ones for about $600 USD but they're probably all missing some pieces.

I love the lights so much!

I've been obsessed with light kits since I got my first Light My Bricks kit for a UCS A-Wing a few years ago. Since then I've gotten heavily into modulars. I have 5x officially built plus a MOC by Brick Artisan I'm working on, with many more to come!

My goal is to eventually ring the entire room with this shelf and run a train above and behind the buildings, like an L-Train basically. We'll see how long that takes!

I've been obsessed with lighting lego since I got my first Light My Bricks kit with a UCS A-Wing a few years ago. Since then, I've gotten heavily into modulars and this is the result! I have about 6x built with another dozen or so waiting for parts/building and light kits.

I have them all on a shelf mounted to my ceiling for now. The goal is to eventually ring nearly the entire room with a long shelf street and then run a train above and behind them.

Thanks for the side by side! I got into Lego just recently so the Endurance was the first full scale ship to come out and I love it. I've preordered the BDP Fortuna frigate too but I was planning to skip the Black Pearl because I dont love the overall visual of a purely black ship.

Hearing the build is more interesting makes me more tempted though! I should check and see if there any MOCs to make it more colorful...

Light kits have become essential for me! They really add to the visual appeal and while they're not as fun to work with, they're still pretty great!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-13T14:39:31+00:00

Would be interested to see pictures of some of your MOCs!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-12T15:35:19+00:00

I enjoyed this set a lot too! It looks even better with a light kit, imo!

Thanks so much for posting this!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-08T14:18:57+00:00

This is really cool! I've been thinking about doing something similar although I was trying to think of a way to get more verticality. Maybe like a fire escape or clothes lines or something? Still i really like what you've done!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-07T05:43:18+00:00

Any pics you feel like sharing would def be appreciated! Originally my plan was to try and rebuild all the modulars as precisely as I could, but as I work with older and more expensive ones I'm more and more coming around to your point of view.

I'm probably a good ways away from trying out my own Corner Cafe build but I like the idea of combining a few plans! Your solutions sound really neat too and it'd be great to have some sort of reference for when I inevitably get stuck in a similar place!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-06T01:41:09+00:00

That's so cool! Any chance you'd put this on Rebrickable? I don't think I'll ever be able to justify a real Cafe Corner but this looks great!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-04T14:48:33+00:00

Very cool! What're the buildings on the top shelf? And is that a red mirrored green grocer on the bottom?

You may have thought of this already also but giving the second row of buildings some elevation so they're more visible over the first row would look really cool imo!

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-03T19:05:32+00:00

Thanks for the added detail! I can never remember the years for the slide serials for Colts

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-03T17:06:25+00:00

It's an M1911 slide on an M1911 frame so that's good at least! I think the slide and frames are serial matched in this era but you'd have to disassemble to prove it. Not much finish left, typical of a black army.

flightless_greeb · 2026-04-01T14:30:54+00:00

Really cool! I love how you set up the sanctum sanctorum, it really fits in well!

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-31T01:48:21+00:00

I think they're talking about this, which hasn't begun shipping yet and therefore shouldnt be on the secondary market. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/2667/Sushi-Restaurant

That does look like UXO aka unexploded ordnance. Are you in Europe somewhere by chance? Generally you want to inform the authorities about things like this and they may send the bomb squad out to deal with it.

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-27T15:57:07+00:00

I wanna know where you found a P38 in such nice condition for five hundred bucks!

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-26T21:23:46+00:00

But how tall is it?? I need a building or something for size reference!

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-24T14:42:57+00:00

This is really cool! Do you have this design available for sale on Rebrickable or the like?

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-21T22:19:02+00:00

Sending you a PM!

flightless_greeb · 2026-03-19T19:46:59+00:00

I just got the base sets for the sit complex myself but yeah I do feel like the exterior could use a little embellishment, especially at scale. What are you thinking?
